What To Expect

Hoover Dam

This exciting tour commences with complimentary hotel pickup. As you make your way to the Hoover Dam, you will travel past Lake Mead, the second largest man-made lake in the Western Hemisphere. The tour will provide you with the opportunity to walk on the top of the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge. Following this stop, you will cross over the top of the Dam with closeup views of the architecture, penstocks and Arizona Spillway. When the Hoover Dam was completed early in 1935, it was both the world's largest electric power producing facility and the world's largest concrete structure, weighing a total of 6.6 million tons. You will discover a multitude of facts on your tour about this impressive structure.

Hoover Dam Bypass

The Bypass Bridge opened in 2010 stretching nearing 2,000 feet long and 840 feet above the Colorado River, making it the second highest bridge in the United States. Ample time is provided for souvenir shopping and purchase of food items at the Dam restaurant. This is truly an exciting and very educational experience that will provide you with a thorough overview of this fascinating, nearly 90 year old, civil engineering wonder of the world.

We were looking for a "shorter" trip as we had a show to go to at 7pm that evening and this one did not disappoint! The tour guide, Bill, was super knowledgeable, and being able to sit back and relax was perfect!

What makes the tour undesirable is the fact that it is NOT Deaf friendly. They will not provide an interpreter which is against ada laws I called 2 weeks before to set up interpreter to find this out. And then I found my own interpreter and they made the working interpreter pay for their tour

I am so sorry about your recent experience during your tour to Hoover Dam. Regretably we are not able to provide interpretation resources on scheduled tours. I am happy you were able to secure an interpreter such that you could enjoy the tour. Unfortunately we have to charge customers that occupy a seat during the tour, which basically includes everyone above two years old. When we give away a free seat, it significantly cuts into our profit margin. Thanks again for your comments and please stay safe, healthy and close to family and friends.
